Hypoxic Ischemic Enceophalopathy Attorneys

Serving Injured Babies in Southfield & in the U.S. Since 1983

Among the most common brain injuries suffered at birth is Hypoxic Ischemic
Encephalopathy (HIE), which is also known as birth asphyxia. It is caused
by oxygen deprivation during delivery and is the leading cause of death
and severe impairments among infants.

In many cases, doctors and nurses are able to prevent oxygen deprivation
through a combination of alertness and correctly-applied procedures. However,
when hospitals fail to remain vigilant, babies pay the price with their
very first minutes—affecting their quality of life permanently.
If your child suffered from oxygen deprivation at birth, it’s time
to hold someone accountable.

It’s time to call Fieger Law.

Why Fieger Law?

If oxygen was cut off to your baby during delivery due to medical negligence,
fragile brain tissue is destroyed. Brain damage leads to severe problems
that taken an emotional toll and require costly treatment, rehabilitation,
and equipment for your child’s entire life.
We can help you deal with those devastating effects. Our attorneys, led by internationally-known lawyer Geoffrey Fieger, are
experts at handling
birth injury cases, including those involving hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).

We have won more than 165 verdicts and settlements of $1 million or more,
including a national record-setting verdict of $145 million in a birth
trauma case in 2011. It still stands as the largest medical malpractice
verdict in the nation.

HIE can lead to mental and physical disabilities that sometimes cannot
be determined until the child is 3 to 4 years old.

The severity of the damage depends on the length of time an infant goes
without oxygen or experiences decreased oxygen. Even a short time without
air can lead to permanent and significant brain damage.
